Margarito: "I will know in the 1st round if Cotto's left will be a problem for me."

Maybe he meant the jab?..

Oh oh...

Umm...sounds like the truth to me. What's he supposed to say, "I will know if COtto's left will be a problem for me when I'm sparring?"

After his 9th rd TKO loss to Cotto he's going to be saying, "I knew Cotto's left was a problem for me in the 1st round. I just couldn't do **** about it."

In boxing, fans make more out of words than the fighters. You can tell how a person is just how they respond when their fighters wins. If he talks smack, that is probably how he acts in real life lol. If he shows respect for the other fighter, that fan can be objective. Of course it's jmo lol. Boxing has all kinds of fans, that's why it is always good to see a fan so upset after his fighter loses, and he talked all that junk before the fight...and the only thing that fan can do is slink away and disappear for a while. Words are words.

A very honest evaluation by Tony. He's right. Cotto is no slick boxer. If he can land the left then he can win. If MAgarito can handle it then he will be able to counter effectively without worrying about it.
Smart indeed

Yep, and Pac is going to wake up in the hospital asking what happened after his ko loss to Valero. After Pac is told that a left by Valero put him inside a billboard ala Martin style, he will say the same damn thing. "I knew that big left would be a problem, come on man, bring that carton of milk closer to my mouth, I can't move my neck that far"!

Cotto is going to fight southpaw a lot in this fight too.
